EMERGENCY LINKS AND NUMBERS RELATED TO VERBAL ABUSE, DOMESTIC VIOLENCE, SEXUAL
ASSAULT, SUICIDE, CODEPENDENCY, AND MORE

These links are automatically sent by Yahoo! Groups to everyone upon joining EVA
and CoDependents, and every two weeks to the lists since so many of you e-mail
me asking for them. In which case, those who have seen these links already and
do not need them yet again can just delete this post every time it comes up.


Also, please remember that a volume of articles can be found on these same
topics in the EVA archives at:

Healing from Loss, Abandonment, and Fear: When we grow up with fear and shame we
become adults who live with fear and shame. Accompanying these intense feelings
is a pervasive, chronic sense of loss, ranging anywhere from serious to
profound. The sensation of this loss goes by various names--unhappiness,
hopelessness, depression, emptiness, insecurity, anxiety, boredom. Whatever the
words we use, these wounds have troubled our very spirit. We need to change our
course by putting the cause of our pain in its proper perspective.
